What did the Tribunal hold?

The Tribunal held that the assessment orders were not void-ab-initio and upheld the denial of exemption under Sections 11 and 12 due to non-registration and violations. However, it allowed an additional ground related to Section 10(23C)(iiiad) for further examination.

What were the facts?

What were the issues?

Whether the assessment proceedings were void-ab-initio and whether the assessee was eligible for exemption under Section 10(23C)(iiiad) despite not being registered under Section 12A/12AA.

Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
